As the order was issued, the crew quickly took action. Some of the crew members stayed on the ship to stand by, while the rest split up and went to the island to collect the necessary supplies. Zhu Han stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the busy and orderly crew, and felt in his heart
Full of joy.
Soon, the island was filled with laughter and laughter. The crew members were picking wild fruits, catching fish and shrimps, or cutting wood. Everyone devoted themselves to the supply task. Zhu Han inspected each group from time to time.
Work status and make sure everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Just as the supply work was coming to an end, a crew member in charge of safety alert hurried over, looking nervous: "Your Majesty, there seem to be signs of indigenous tribe activities on the other side of the island. They are approaching us, but they have not shown any signs yet.
hostility."
Zhu Han frowned slightly when he heard this, but then he regained his composure: "Second order, everyone should be vigilant, but don't be overly nervous. General Li, you immediately lead a small team to greet the indigenous tribesmen and express our friendship.
, and try to communicate with them.”
General Li took the order and left, and soon returned to the camp with several representatives of the indigenous tribes. These indigenous people were dressed in simple clothes, with colorful patterns on their faces, and curiosity and wariness shone in their eyes.
Zhu Han stepped forward and greeted them with a smile in the local language that he was not fluent in: "Distant friends, we are envoys from the Ming Dynasty. We have no intention of invading your territory, but we are passing through here and need to replenish some supplies. I hope you can
Allow us to stay here."
The representatives of the indigenous tribes looked at each other, and one of them, who looked like a leader, stepped forward and responded in blunt Chinese: "Messenger of the Ming Dynasty, we have heard of your name. You have come from afar, and we
You should be entertained. But please respect our land and customs and don’t destroy everything here.”
Zhu Han quickly nodded in agreement: "This is natural. We in the Ming Dynasty regard ourselves as a country of etiquette and will never do anything to infringe on others. Please rest assured that we will act carefully and minimize the impact on the island environment."
After a simple exchange between the two sides, the indigenous tribesmen finally let down their guard. Not only did they allow the Ming fleet to stop here for supplies, they also took the initiative to provide help and guidance, making the supply work go more smoothly.
During the supply period, Zhu Han also specially arranged a small cultural exchange event. The crew members and the indigenous tribes shared food, performed shows, and exchanged skills. The friendship between them gradually deepened amidst laughter and laughter.
When the supply mission was successfully completed, the Ming fleet was ready to leave. Before leaving, Zhu Han personally said goodbye to the representatives of the indigenous tribes: "Friends from afar, thank you for your warm hospitality and selfless help. May our friendship be like this
It is as deep and vast as the ocean. If you have the opportunity, you are welcome to visit Daming."
Zhu Han looked at the busy and orderly supply scene. After thinking secretly for a moment, he turned to Mr. Wang beside him and said: "Mr. Wang, I see that the crew has been working very hard in the past few days. In addition, they are about to enter a more complex and changeable sea area.
I decided that we would stay on this island for a few days to let everyone recuperate and adjust."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang nodded slightly, with a flash of agreement in his eyes: "Your Majesty, you have considered it carefully. Indeed, the physical and mental health of the crew is very important. Staying for a few days will not only restore your physical strength, but also take the opportunity to further explore this unknown city."
There may be more unexpected gains on the islands.”
General Li also agreed: "What the prince said is absolutely true. My subordinates will arrange for the ships to dock and at the same time strengthen the security on the island to ensure safety."
Zhu Han nodded, and then told General Li: "General Li, you must not only arrange for the ships to dock, but also organize people to set up temporary camps to ensure that everyone has a comfortable rest environment. At the same time, strengthen patrols to prevent accidents.
."
General Li took the order and left, while Zhu Han continued to discuss the next plan with Mr. Wang.
"Mr. Wang, in addition to rest, we can also use these few days to organize some cultural exchanges and skills training activities." Zhu Han suggested, "For example, let the crew have in-depth exchanges with indigenous tribes to understand their culture and lifestyle.
;At the same time, we will carry out some training on navigation skills and emergency response to improve everyone’s practical capabilities.”
When Mr. Wang heard this, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes: "Your Majesty, this is a very clever plan. It will not only enhance the friendship between the two parties, but also improve the overall quality of the crew. My subordinates will immediately start making arrangements."
Later, Zhu Han separately summoned several staff members responsible for navigation affairs, inquired in detail about the situation in the sea areas around the island, and formulated a detailed exploration plan.
"Everyone, we must not only understand the island itself, but also master the wind direction, current and other natural conditions in the surrounding sea areas to prepare for the next voyage." Zhu Han said earnestly, "At the same time, we must also pay attention to the island.
Possible natural resources should be assessed for possible future supply points."
The staff nodded one after another and expressed that they would go all out to complete the task.
Zhu Han stood in front of the temporary camp, looking at the busy and orderly crew members in the distance, and his heart was filled with joy. He decided to use the rest time of these few days to not only allow the crew members to recover their physical strength, but also to allow everyone to deepen their understanding of the situation.
Get to know this mysterious island and enhance our friendship with each other.
"Mr. Wang, we have to arrange some activities so that the crew can gain something while resting." Zhu Han said to Mr. Wang beside him.
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement: "What the prince said is absolutely true. We can organize some cultural exchange activities to bring the crew closer to the people of the indigenous tribes, and at the same time learn their survival wisdom."
"That's right." Zhu Han smiled slightly and turned to General Li, who was busy at the side. "General Li, I leave the patrol and security matters on the island to you. Make sure there are no accidents."
General Li bowed his hands and saluted: "General, I will do my best to ensure the safety of the camp."
Subsequently, Zhu Han and Mr. Wang began to plan a series of activities. They first arranged a cultural sharing meeting, inviting the elders of the indigenous tribes to the camp to tell the crew about the history, legends and their way of life of the island.
"Welcome to all friends from the Ming Dynasty." An elderly indigenous elder said in blunt Chinese at the sharing meeting, "Our ancestors once lived in harmony with nature on this land. Today, I am honored to share it with you.
These stories.”
The crew members listened with rapt attention and exclaimed in admiration from time to time. A young crew member asked excitedly: "Elder, how do you survive on this island? Do you have any special skills?"
The elder smiled and nodded, and began to tell how they used the resources on the island to build houses, fish and hunt, and how to protect themselves in bad weather. The crew members listened with interest, and people asked questions from time to time. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
After the sharing session, Zhu Han arranged a handicraft display. People from the indigenous tribes demonstrated their unique weaving, carving and other skills, while the crew brought Ming Dynasty calligraphy, paintings and other artistic works for exchange. Both parties learned from each other.
, appreciate each other, and friendship continues to deepen during communication.
"This weaving technique is really exquisite!" One crew member exclaimed, "I have never seen such complex patterns and textures before."
"Your calligraphy and paintings are also beautiful." An indigenous woman pointed to the ink paintings on the wall and said, "Although I can't understand the words on it, I can feel the artistic conception and emotion in it."
In addition to cultural exchanges, Zhu Han also organized a series of sports competitions and entertainment activities. The crew members participated in tug-of-war, races and other competitions with the indigenous tribes, and laughter filled the entire camp. In the evening, they also sat around the campfire and sang songs
Dance and share our stories and dreams.
"Days like this are really rare." An old sailor said with emotion, "We have been wandering on the sea for so long, and we can finally relax like this."
"Yes." Another crew member agreed, "And being with these indigenous friends, it feels as warm as returning home."
Zhu Han looked at the people laughing and laughing in the camp, and his heart was filled with joy. He turned around and smiled at Mr. Wang: "Mr. Wang, it seems that everyone's mental state has recovered well."
Mr. Wang nodded and smiled: "Yes, Your Majesty. Over the past few days, the exchanges between the crew and the indigenous tribes have not only enhanced friendship, but also temporarily relieved everyone from the stressful voyage, which will be of great benefit to the following voyage."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement, and then suggested: "Since everyone is in good condition, we might as well organize a fishing activity, which will not only allow everyone to experience life on the island, but also replenish some fresh ingredients."
When Mr. Wang heard this, his eyes lit up: "What a great idea, Your Majesty. I'll make arrangements right away."
Soon, many crew members and several indigenous fishermen gathered in the open space in the center of the camp. Zhu Han stood in front of the crowd, holding a long pole, and said to everyone with a smile: "Today, we are going to have a fishing competition. Let's see.
Let’s see who gets the most.”
The crew responded one after another, some picked up fishing nets, and some picked up fishing rods, eager to try. The indigenous fishermen also joined in enthusiastically. They shared their fishing skills and taught the crew how to identify fish schools and how to
Use fishing gear wisely.
With Zhu Han's order, the fishing activity officially began. The crew and the indigenous fishermen spread out, each looking for the best fishing position. Zhu Han also left the field in person, fighting side by side with the crew, enjoying the
Rare relaxation and fun.
Time passed little by little, and the sunshine gradually became softer. The crew members returned to the center of the camp one after another with their trophies, some carrying wooden barrels filled with fish, and others carrying big fish, with faces filled with satisfaction.
smile.
"It seems that everyone's harvest is good." Zhu Han smiled and looked around, expressing his appreciation for everyone's achievements.
A young crew member excitedly raised a big fish and shouted: "My lord, do you think this fish is big?"
Zhu Han walked over, looked at the fish carefully, and said with a smile: "It is indeed not small. It seems that you are very lucky."
At this time, an indigenous fisherman came over and said in less fluent Chinese: "Friends of the Ming Dynasty, you are very brave and very smart. This fish is also a rare big fish in our tribe."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han quickly expressed his gratitude to the indigenous fishermen: "Thank you for the compliment. We were able to catch so many fish this time thanks to your help and guidance."
The indigenous fisherman smiled honestly and waved his hand: "You're welcome. People in our tribe depend on the sea for their livelihood. If you are willing to learn, we are willing to teach."
As the sun sets, the fishing activity comes to an end. Zhu Han proposes to share the caught fish with everyone as ingredients for dinner. The crew members and indigenous fishermen work together, some clean the fish belly, and some prepare firewood.
Some started cooking.
Soon, the tempting smell of fish filled the entire camp. Everyone sat together and enjoyed the delicacies they caught by themselves. During dinner, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious, as the crew and the indigenous fishermen toasted and shared with each other.
stories and experiences.
"Days like this are really unforgettable." An old sailor said with emotion, "After wandering on the sea for so long, it's great to be able to sit together, eat and chat like this."
Zhu Han raised his glass and greeted everyone: "Yes, this kind of time is indeed rare. But we still have a longer way to go and more challenges to face. I hope everyone can cherish this time and recharge their batteries.
Get ready for the next voyage.”
The crew members responded one after another and raised their glasses to drink together. After dinner, everyone returned to the temporary tents to rest.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone into the tent, Zhu Han had already stood up. He walked out of the tent, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the tranquility and beauty of the island.
With the arrival of the sunrise, the crew members also got up and started a new day. Some of them continued to replenish supplies, while others carried out daily training and patrols. Zhu Han, together with Mr. Wang, General Li and others, discussed the reception
Down the sailing plan.
"Your Majesty, we have been resting on this island for several days, and our supplies have been fully replenished." Mr. Wang reported, "I think we can move on."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "That's true. But before that, we still need to conduct final inspection and maintenance on the ship to ensure safe navigation."
General Li stood at the bow of the ship, carefully checking the tightness of each cable, and ordered the deputy beside him: "Check the fastening devices on the ship's side again to make sure nothing is missing. Our safety depends on these details.
"The deputy left in response, and General Li turned to Zhu Han and reported: "Your Majesty, all ships have been inspected and can set sail at any time."
Zhu Han nodded and turned to Mr. Wang with gentle eyes: "Mr. Wang, how are the materials? Are they all ready?"
Mr. Wang took out a booklet from his arms, flipped through it quickly and replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have checked the list one by one. There is sufficient fresh water reserve, food per capita distribution can last more than two months, and there is enough fuel to last until the next day."
